Site taking ages to load pages

[Merlin5]

I should have posted here in the first place. I don't understand what the problem is with loading pages from OcUK. Please see my link and perhaps someone can throw some light on the matter? Thanks.

Mine has been the same recently, im on BE but using opendns, who are you with?

My download speed is fine though, and pings seem fine too.

My download speed is fine as well, all speed tests are showing just under the 10 Mbit that I pay for, with 0.4 to 0.5 kbit upload. Pings are fine, I play quakelive
every day with no problem at all, very low pings. I'm with virgin media, cable connection. I don't get it. If for instance it was my ISP, why would an ISP problem be isolated to one website and not all sites? There are occasional glitches with other sites, but on the whole, other sites are loading fast. But as soon as I load up pages here, it hangs. I've rebooted my modem, made no difference.

Mine effects a lot of sites not just one, iv just given my router a re-boot seems to be ok again now, but not sure for how long, its been happening the past 2 weeks

Google dns servers here and no problems, i found opendns to be a bit lethargic when i set up my new router recently.

Don't know if it's temporary, but right now the site and the forums are working lightning fast again for me, as it used to. I hope it stays like this! *Fingers crossed*

For me it seems to slow down during the day.

I can only put this problem down to Virgin Media. I've never ever had slowdowns at OcUK either day or night, so maybe Virgin Media have had more daytime traffic recently or something.

I would put it down to somewhere along with virgin also, probably some part virgin's backbone that gets congested but trace routes show its after it leaves virgin. And starts when it gets to serverstream.net where im guessing OcUK is hosted although any hops after that times out.
